Woman-owned agency based in central Ohio is one of the highest-ranked firms nationwide in agriculture communications, according to O’Dwyer’s PR News
COLUMBUS, OH (June 3, 2025) – Inspire PR Group (Inspire) is one of the top agriculture PR firms in the country, ranking fourth on the O’Dwyer’s PR News annual list of Top Agricultural PR Firms.
With a deep practice in food production and farming, Inspire has been consistently ranked among the top 10 agriculture PR firms in the United States over the past three years. The national full-service agency for the first time moved up into the top five in the 2025 rankings.
“Our client-partners in agriculture lead the way in feeding those across the U.S. and worldwide, and theirs are the stories that must be told,” said Inspire Founder and President, Hinda Mitchell, who is one of the agriculture industry’s most trusted communicators. “We understand farmers—their business, their challenges and how to communicate their critical value to our nation’s food security with expertise and authenticity.
The O’Dwyer’s list ranks U.S. PR agencies specializing in agricultural issues for growers, processors, trade associations, restaurant suppliers, distributors and consumer packaged goods companies.
“Inspire works with national commodity groups and state associations, provides counsel and support to some of the largest and most respected food and agricultural brands nationwide and helps family-owned food companies become regional and national players,” said Mitchell. She said the firm guides clients on issues management, digital and social strategy, creative design, crisis readiness and earned media relations, among other services.
Inspire has 100+ years of combined experience working with farmers and agriculture organizations across its 20-person team. In April, Inspire senior account manager Meghann Winters-Rowe received the 2025 Next Gen NAMA award from the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA), which recognizes young communicators with a bright future in agriculture.
Many of Inspire’s food and agriculture clients have been working with members of the team for more than a decade. The agency’s work on behalf of food and agriculture clients was recently recognized with national and regional awards from the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), including:
- A five-part animated video series sharing how Ohio egg, chicken and turkey farmers protect the environment, A Closer Look: Ohio Poultry Farmers’ Commitments, produced in partnership with the Ohio Poultry Association and Ohio Soybean Association, won a national Best of NAMA Merit Award and a PRism Award from the Central Ohio Chapter of PRSA.
- Inspire was a national finalist at the Best of NAMA Awards for work with American Egg Board, American Dairy Association Mideast, Versova, Wayne-Sanderson Farms and the NC Mountain State Fair.
- Two finalists at the Best of NAMA Awards also took home PRism Awards in mid-May from PRSA Central Ohio—including the Shop Ohio Cheese campaign with the American Dairy Association Mideast and Versova’s 2023 Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Report.
Inspire is ranked among the top 100 PR firms in the nation overall by O’Dwyer’s and also is 14th in Restaurant, 19th in Nonprofit and 33rd in Education PR Firms.
